Quiescent

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted,
as lava flowed over its cauldron!
                          The quiescent
                            Goddess awakes!

What once was a placid pool of liquid lava,
has morphed into a geyser of magma.
And it's ejecting molten plumes of rock
high into the atmosphere, lighting up the night.

        When Gaia flows into the sea,
        is she giving birth to the land?

                          Time contradicts;
                            permanency.

Sam Kauffman Date: 10/5/2021 1:21:00 PM So wonderfully creative this metaphoric write, Emile. I love the foundation that underlies your theme and ideas. I especially love that the energy of the poem takes off from the disturbed quiescence of the Goddess. This is marvelously crafted my friend with many intricate layers. Blessings! A fav for me.
